new band...kinda

Man, have I ever lost interest in talking about art. I mean, after a while it just sounds like complaining. Probably because it is.

So, I’m writing songs for a band that doesn’t exist that I want to play in. I do this a lot. Well, ok, I do it every once in a while, but it feels like a lot. Once in a while I put the band together, but quite often I don’t. This can be for any number of reasons. 1. Laziness. 2. Doubt. 3. The stuff turns out to be crap once I stop romanticizing the idea of the band and actually listen to what I’m writing. 4. Other.

I’ve got four tunes-in-progress for the new band. They’re called newband1, newband2, newband3, and newband4. I’m a song naming genius. One of them is really close to finished. This is usually when I stop listening to what I’m writing and put down whatever because I just want to finish the thing so I can get the rush of finishing the thing. I’m trying to be patient.

I’ve been listening to Todd Sickafoose lately. I’m crediting him for the inspiration to write these four tunes. Much like Nels Cline earlier, although I only got one tune out of him. I know this is a segueway into some sort of review, but I really don’t feel like doing that. Go buy it on itunes. It’s called Tiny Resistors.
